Answer:

12 : 15 : 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = 4x, the B = 5x

Let B = 3y, then C = 2y

B = 5x = 3y, so y = (5/3)x

Let x = 3t, so y = 5t

Then A = 4x = 4(3t) = 12t

B = 5x = 5(3t) = 15t

C = 2y = 2(5t) = 10t

so A : B : C = 12t : 15t : 10t = 12 : 15 : 10

Answer: Area of Parallelogram is 28 units squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing, any two vector sides of a parallelogram sharing the same initial point, we can find the area of parallelogram that two vectors are shaping, using the cross product of these two vectors a×b, where the area is given by

Area= |a×b| ___ (1)

From the given points,we may choose any three of them such and find a two vector and expresses the sides of parallelogram " or one side and a diagonal of parallelogram" ,we may choose for example B ,C and D.

Moreover, we may choose point B, to be common point for the two sides " the initial point of two vector" thus we need to find vector BD and vector BC .

Calculations are given in picture.
